Battle of the Landscapes – Round 1

We here at The Non-Review are very confrontational. If you don’t believe me, then I will ask you to step outside. However, some people consider this to be a “flaw” in our character, so we have sought ways to defuse our hostilities. One is to burn down the house of anyone who thinks we have flaws, but the other is to run “battles” on this site. We have run several of these in the past (we’ve been contentious for a long time) but if you’re new here, these battles are simply you voting between two things, in whatever category our brains come up with. This time we’ll be battling between different types of landscapes, so let’s get started with the first two…

DESERT VS. SWAMP

Ode to the Desert
You’re almost good enough
to be a dessert,
but c’mon, really,
would a few clouds hurt.

Ode to the Swamp
Not quite a river,
not quite a flood.
Make up your mind,
and enough with the mud.

And now that we’ve forced these two landscapes to confront one another, it’s your turn to be confrontational as well. Vote (by leaving a comment) for which landscape you think is the greatest. Voting ends on Saturday, so make sure to get yours in before then. Saturday is also when we’ll announce the winner of this round, and then throw two more landscapes at each other. Until then, we’ll just sit back and bask in the wonderful hostilities.

Ask any one living in 36 to 44' Celsius and the answer will be a whooping swamp....besides childhood bouts of malaria gives us immunity from the frisky swampy mosquitoes.....ans as my bro always said...to learn from life, get your feet wet. :)

Well, since every planet or moon that we've ever landed on, and taken a picture of, looks just like a desert, then a vote for the desert would imply that Earth was nothing special. So I'm throwing a vote Swamp's way, since we've never found one anywhere else in the universe (so far).
